Please lower the required GHz for playing league

Dear riot. I cannot afford a new computer and my current computer only has 2.5 GHz processing power. Why does league require 3 GHz processing in the first place? what exactly is going on that makes this game so demanding other than just fancy particle effects?

Smite is a 3D game with higher resolution models and it requires only a 2.4 GHz processor. So what's the deal?

That's not exactly how processing power works, but LoL already is an extremely resource unintensive game. Lol also is a 3D game just with a fixed camera. You can run LoL on an 8 year old toaster tbh. Turn your settings down (especially particles) and try enabling low spec mode and there is an option to close the client while in game. Try those

yeah no, you can run the game fine with a 2.4 ghz core, whats more imporant in regards to cpu is core count or overclocking.

dual core is the minimum, if you have any higher, its definitely not your cpu.

The best thing you can do is fire up the practice tool or a custom bot game and check your task manager and see what the weakness is.
